The newRazerBlade 15 Studio Edition is back and ready to make you forget about the most recent MacBook Pro upgrades, thanks to a bunch ofApple-topping specs.
Its max-out configuration is rocking a Quadro RTX 5000 GPU,4KOLEDtouchscreen and one of the newIntel Comet Lakechips, the i7-10875H.
That’s a serious step up from last year’sRazer Blade 15 Studio Edition (2019), which we found impressive with a 9th-genIntelCore i7 processor andNvidiaQuardo RTX 5000 GPU. It was part of theNvidia’s RTX Studio programfor creative professionals.
It’s enough to give MacBook Pro users pause. While Apple’s16-inch MacBook Pro, released late last year to rave reviews for its new internal upgrades and fresh design features, it’s still only maxing out with a 9th-gen Intel Core i9 processor,AMDRadeon Pro 5500M GPU and a 2560 x 1600 non-touch IPS display.
The new Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition offers aWindows 10alternative, and it has even more horsepower than the new MacBook Pros. It’s ideal for those creative professionals who need a whole lot of power in a portable body.
Of course, with great power comes a (not-so-)great price tag. In this new souped-up configuration, the Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition costs a hefty $4,300 (£4,300, about AU$6,470), about $800 more than the most powerful MacBook Pro with the same RAM and storage.

Another notable feature that the 2020 Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition brings to the table is a much improved keyboard layout. The new keyboard now includes a longer shift key with the four arrow keys below, according toThe Verge, giving your fingers a bit more space and making them less prone to inaccurate presses.
